Dolan, Josephine A.

Josephine A. Dolan was the first professor of nursing at the University of Connecticut School of Nursing . She became interested in nursing history when she was given the class to teach in the nursing program. Miss Dolan collected materials to write a book on the history of nursing from dealers or, in the case of the Wolcott series, from descendants of the family. Miss Dolan died 13 December 2004.
